chemfreak Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 I havent gotten it. I placed mine on 4/4/06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustStuit Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Doesn't it usually take 1-2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Also remember that right now it's tax season so the US Postal Service, as well as some other couriers, are SWAMPED with parcels to deliver. Also throw in the fact that it's Easter Weekend this coming weekend and there's a good chance that things will wind up taking a little bit longer than expected. (Especially if you shipped via the USPS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2SO4 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 ive bought so much stuff from them. I even bought some borosil test tubes from them before they had it on the site. Good company. But damn slow. It usualy takes me three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hephaestus Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I find that o/seas shipments take several weeks longer than expected. They always seem to be moving. Must just be slow to pack and ship. They always deliver whats purchased though and are very nice to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budullewraagh Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 not EPA troubles. check out my post (control+f and search for united nuclear) at this site: http://www.independent-thinkers.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woelen Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Borek, that is a great read. I've also seen it on sciencemadness.org already. It is a pleasure to see that there still are magazines, who write something else than the fear and terror crap, which we usually can read about (home-)chemistry in papers and on websites.

YT2095 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 yeah, Thanks Borek, I really enjoyed reading that too I found Bill Nye`s comment particularly poinient: “People who want to make meth will find ways to do it that don’t require an Erlenmeyer flask. But raising a generation of people who are technically incompetent is a recipe for disaster.” I know when My daughter`s old enough, she`ll have the Chemistry Set from Hell! to experiment with, Microscopes, telescopes, lasers, radios, robotics, all the electronic components she could ask for and More. I`ll be damned if I`m going to let the law turn her into a brain dead moron that fits nicely into their mental spam can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 YT, nice post . My oldest daughter is 10 years now and I've done quite some nice experiments with her already. She may play around with NaHCO3 and some weak acids freely, nice for bubbles and fountains. Under my supervision she also did quite some nice precipitation and color reactions (e.g. pH indicator color changes and metal salt complex formation). I do not yet explain all the things, only the very basic concepts, like that when atoms rearrange, that the properties can change completely. I even showed her some of the red P/ KIO4 experiments, and the Mn2O7/H2SO4 experiments, but of course only as a demo . Kids really like this kind of things. They are surprised by the color changes, effects, smokes etc. Now it is time to raise interest, the explanations will follow later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob000555 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Sorry, I had that united nuclear and the one in this site http://www.epa.gov/earth1r6/6sf/pdffiles/0600819.pdf confussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speakerguy Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 are their neo mags any good the super neo N45 mags are really expensive and I don't want to find out they are junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Have a look at http://www.emovendo.net. This supplier has a lot of N45 magnets (or even N50) for fair prices. I purchased many things from them and they are very helpful and really quick in shipping things (unfortunately I only could buy chems/elements from them, they don't ship the ultrastrong magnets overseas, for reasons I can understand).

Yeah, those super strong magnets on a plane would probably be a really bad idea. Emovendo also sells on E-Bay and he's a good source for "acceptable" grade elements for use in experiments and other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 woelen, try http://www.smart-elements.com for NdFeB-magnets, mine are great. Their pyrolytic graphite levitates pretty nicely on the magnets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/chemistry_pr.html great article, thanks for sharing. I'm sending it to everyone I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ecoli, same to me. I also posted it already on a dutch chemistry forum. This article also is posted on sciencemadness.org and the author of that article also joins in that thread. Finally something good for home chemistry...
